Blu-ray calibration screens

[hdtvnoob]

This is my first post, and i have a question of using the ramp and color bar screens from the blu-ray movies. I know how to set brightness and color but my problem is adjusting contrast, since i just want to know how to use one of the screens to calibrate contrast. Idk which screen is used for contrast. thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forum. I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. Perhaps you could try looking up your tv calibration settings on a site like http://www.tweaktv.com/

I used the Blu-ray of WALL-E to help me calibrate my Projector ! I think all the Disney Blu's have this . It will help with all the different settings including the contrast !

If by contrast you mean white level, on some test disc there's a pattern that has a couple of highlight level patches (like 95% white, 97% white, 100% white) next to each other so you make sure you don't blow out highlight detail when turning "Contrast" too way up.

I am new to this board, so I cannot post a new thread.

IF you can answer this question, PLEASE do so. I cannot find the answer and I am not yet allowed to post this question: THANKS
Hello Everyone! First of all THANK YOU for reading my post.

Somewhat newbie to the whole blu-ray world. I have a Panasonic scbt-200 system hooked up to a Panasonic 50inch plasma. Just to give you the specs.
My question is this:

I am trying to play my old collection of Curb Your Enthusiam DVD's on my blu ray player. When they load on my screen, the into to the DVD fills my entire screen (16:9 correct)? However, when the title screen for Curb plays AND when the episode plays, it is in 4:3 with the grey (with Panasonic they are grey) bars on the side.

Now, my friend has the same TV, with a Samsung player AND when he plays his Curb DVD's, they fit the entire screen.

Is my blu-ray player correctly upscaling the DVD's?

Should it just be displayed in the 4:3 format?

Is there any way to fix this?

THANK YOU in advance for your reply.

Rob

thanks so the color bars on the first screen of the 7669 patterns can calibrate contrast?
